m6A modification is incorporated into bacterial mRNA without specific functional benefit Abstract. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), has also been found at a low level in bacterial mR

Delighted to share our newest publication - beautiful collaboration with Ya-Ming Hou’s lab. If you wonder whether bacterial mRNAs contain m6A (yes they do) and whether it matters (does not seem to) look here 👇🏻

A cellular entity retaining only its replicative core: Hidden archaeal lineage with an ultra-reduced genome Defining the minimal genetic requirements for cellular life remains a fundamental question in biology. Genomic exploration continually reveals novel microbial lineages, often exhibiting extreme genome...

So cool, a novel archaeon with a super small genome and no metabolic genes!
"An unprecedented level of metabolic dependence on a host, a condition that challenges the functional distinctions between minimal cellular life and viruses."

Today is June 25. On this date in 1903 Marie Curie defended her doctoral thesis on radioactive substances at Université de la Sorbonne in Paris, becoming 1st woman in France to receive a doctoral degree. Image shows the thesis cover.

Congratulations!
